I’m not here to ruin anyone’s career, so I won’t name names.
After 5 years in Web3, founding two companies, interviewing countless candidates, and leading teams of 500+, I just had the worst hiring experience of my career.
I want to share this as a lesson and warning.
To the young people in Web3: you’re in one of the best industries in the world in terms of compensation. At just 20-something, you’re earning salaries north of $200K—higher than many in traditional sectors like tech, finance, PE/VC, consulting, etc.
The entry barriers are lower, your work is easier, and you get to travel the world for events. Life seems easy, and the millionaire dream feels just within reach.
But, that’s created a problem. There’s now a group of individuals in Web3 with average skills and sky-high expectations. They think they can have it all, without loyalty to their projects.
They jump from job to job, even working for multiple companies at once, all while pretending to be fully committed to each. The salaries they demand are way out of line with their actual contributions and effort.
At Morph, we’re always looking for the best talent in the market. But, integrity and honesty are non-negotiable.
No matter how talented someone is, without these values, they won’t last on our team. People say Web3 and crypto are full of scams—and honestly, sometimes we’re hesitant to even mention our work outside of the industry. This is because too many bad actors have caused damage.
Morph will launch its own token in the future, and investors will be trusting us with their money. As the backbone of this project, our team must be composed of the most trustworthy individuals. Myself, Azeem, and every single team member cannot afford to act unethically or compromise investor trust.
I know these words may not sound glamorous in Web3, but building a solid blockchain is a long and challenging mission.
We’re looking for people who share these values to join us.
By the way, we’re hiring! :)
